The Ball Family Dominates Media

Brysen Thomas, Reporter

The media is blowing up with tons of different topics to discuss, but one of the main topics especially in college basketball is the Ball family.

Lonzo who is the oldest of the 3 brothers is a freshman at UCLA and so far has led them to the sweet 16 in the college playoffs. He is projected to be drafted 2nd to the Los Angeles Lakers. LiAngelo is the middle child who is a senior at Chino Hills high school, but is also committed to UCLA. The youngest of the 3, LaMelo Ball is a sophomore at Chino Hills. He is the best shooter out of all 3 and arguably the best shooter in high school, a few weeks ago he even had 92 points in a single game! All 3 off them are relatively quiet on the court and let their game do the talking, but their dad makes up for that with all his foolish talk to the media.

Lavar Ball, the dad of the Ball family has been venting a lot of his opinions to the media over the past few weeks. Lavar Ball claimed that Lonzo Ball is currently better then 2 time back-2-back MVP and NBA champion Steph Curry. Lavar Ball also stated that “back in my hay day I would’ve killed MJ one on one.”(via bleacher report) A lot of people had something to say about that derogatory statement. “He is an absolute idiot.”- Peyton Fennely “The kids are great, but Lavar Ball needs to shut his mouth.”- Marshall Ingram. Overall they are an amazingly talented family, but don’t need to get ahead of themselves.
